HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. FOREIGN RELATIONS.--Mr. MASON, from the Committee, on as much of the Message of the Pre sident of the Ciiited States,, as relates to our Fo reign relations, reported a Bill respecting the Com mercial lutefcburse between the United 'States and Great Britain and France, and for other purposes. The first section prohibits all smaller vessels be longing to Great(Britain from entering the harbours. of the United States, subject to the certain sPeci nid exception., The 2d section prescribes the pu nishment of those who 'shall aid the infraaion of this -provisiot:, The 3d prohibits all vessels sailing under the flag of - Great Britain or prance, or owntd m the whole or by part by any, Citizen of either, from entering the harbours of the United States. 4. Prohibits the importation 'in the West Indies of goods from Great Britain or Ireland, and France and their Colonies; or 'of goods from any foreign port, wh:ch are the growth, produce, or rnanufac ture of Great Britain or France, unless in vessels owned wholly by citizens . of the West Indies.

The 9th 'authori,es the President, in case either France or Great Britain shall so revoke or aiodify their edicts, as they shall cease to violate the neu tral.conimerce of the United States, to declare the same by Proclamation, after which the prohibition of this act on the comi - nerce of the nation so doing snail cease. 11 . . Repeals theAta to amend and continue in foe cer'tain part of tle Act, entitled, an Act to interdict • the commercial • intercourse between the united States and Great Britain and France, and their de reridencies, and tor no other purpose. . . 12. Limits this At to the end of the next. Session •of Congress. The Bill was read a.second time, and referred to a Committee of the whole. The result of the both Houses Of Par liament yesterday morning, has disappointed the hopes, and falsified theyrediaiOns, of the_Opposi tion and their friends.r The Amendments Proposed were rejeaed in both :Douses .by large and decisive triajoris, and it is to be reeollOted that several Members Of Administration were necessarily absent from the 'House of Commons. With respea to the argunients used by the Opposition against Ministers, it would be useless for us to offer any comments pporr' them, having given at full length the Speech of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, In which all the objections of his opponents were discusSed and refuted with his usual ability. There is, how ever, one point upon which we cannot avoid saying a . feW words--we mean with respeEl to the Amend ment. The OppOsition, both in and out of PJrlia tnent, s eta to'entertain the most extraordinary no tions Of justice, notions which we trust will never find general acceptance in this Co - nutty. They seem, 'not to knOw, that 1301 only according to the letter and spit it of the Law of England, but:tothe dictates of common sense, conviaion or acquittal should be • the result of ,Inquiry, and not precede it. Nothing, sorely, can be more reptignant to common sense, than calling upon any body of mu to pass a direct t- • censure upon certain tntasures., and then to institute an invesligation to know miiLlher that censure be ,rneritc.d or not,. But it may be said, that it is ne cessary, in the first instance, to lay the ground for the inquiry, and that in so doing, it was almost w avoid sreAing of the measure to be examined in:o, without employing some terms of There is, however, a great follacy this argument. rco: persons cad he, more ready to admit than wv are, that the failure of itny extensive exr_ ditiou affords a prima Jade ground to demand In quiry, and in calling tor..that liiquiry, it ismecessAry ceosure. to point out the failure, and it may be proper to comment upon the disastrous consequences that may result from it ; but it can never be necessary or pro per to ask for an irwestigation to ascertain the causes . of a disaster, and at tile same time to pass a vote, stating thoie causes, and censuring the authors of the measure, We do not obje& to the Opposition for proposing to investigate the causes of the failure in the 'Scheldt, but we do object to their calling . upon Parliament to decide upon these causes, and to determine whether the measure was " tardy and uncornbined," before they have made their Inquiry. There was one fa& stated . by Mr. PERCEVAL, on Tuesday, night, which puts the absurdity of such a proceeding irta very strong point of view. The Amendment, calling for they Inquiry, not only pronounces the Expedition to Walcheren to be " tardy and uncombined," but de clares that it was incapable, e%en if it were successful, of aiding our ally. Now, with all due deference to the talents of the gentlemen in Opposition, we do venture to contend that our Ally, the Emperor of AVSTRIA, was quite as . good a judge of what was likely to afFord him aid, as they are; and Mr. PER.. CEVAL distinctly stated, that , the Austrian Govern ment not only did express their approbation of the Expedition to Walcheren; as a diversion in" fa vour of Austria, but did press his Majesty's Mi nisters to retain the Island of Walcheren, as a fa vourable point, in case hostilities had been renewed between France and 'Austria. So that, in fact, if the Amendment had been carried, the British Parliament' and the Austrian Government would have been at variance, upon the question of what was, or was not, likely to give assistance to Austria. On the atb, at twelve o'clock at noon, the Prince took his departure from Tanum, and arrived twelve o'clock at night in Vddewalla. He was re ceived with every demonstration of affeetion and joy, and-the whole town was illuminated. On the , gth his Royal Highness left this place for Gotten burgh. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 15.—After the very san guinary battle of Silistria, an armistice, we under stand, was proposed for two months, but doubts are entertained 9f it being concluded. The right banks of the Danube are now com pletely evacuated by the enemy. In consequence of the bridges having been destroyed, a great number of prisoners were taken after the battle. His MAJESTY is expeded in town this day, to hold a Private Levee, Privy Council, and receive the Addresses of both Houses ,of Parliatnent. Yesterday Admirals Sir SIDNEY SMITH, Sir RI CHARD STItACHAN, and Commodore OWEN, bans acted business with the Earl of LIVERPOOL, Lord MULGRANE, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, at the Admiralty His Highness Pril/Ce STAHREMBERG has removed from his house in South Audley-street to Blanett's Hotel, in Leicester-square.

The first Levee of the SPEAKER of the HOUSE' of Coemetis will be on Saturday, the 3d of February. On Thursday last Lord ViSCOl.lllt CATHCART, the Commander in Chief, gave a grand' entertainment to the Officers of the North British Statf, and se veral noblemen and Gentlemen,in OMAN'S Hotel, Edinburgh, in honour of her MAJESTY'S birth-day. Six American vessels have, arrived at Liverpool. The letters received y es t er d a y f ront that port state, that the Non-Intercourse Act has been repealed by the Congress, and the - Nen-liiiportation Act sub stittited for it.

PE ELE, Military Sec. Fort St. George, Aug. 3e, 18n9. GENERAL ORDERS BY THE HONOURABLE THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL. A Report has been received by the Governor in Council froin the Officer commanding in Mysore, stating, that the troops which composed the garri son of Serigapatam surrendered at discretion, on the 23d inst. ; delivered up their arms, and proceed ed to the stations in Mysore allotted for their resi dence. It has been ascertained that the Native Troops which proceeded from Chittledroog were entirely ignorant of the real designs of their Officers, and marched under an itnpressibn produced by their Officers, that his Highness the Rajah of Mysore had commenced hostilities against the British Go vernment, and attacked the fort of Seringapatam.— The appearance of the Mysore gorse confirmed this opinion in the minds of those troops, and when' they found in the contest before Seringapatam, which was begun_ by the Mysore horse, that the British Force acted against them, they abandoned tiled. arms, and endeavoured to save their lies by flight.—lt appears alat a considerable number escaped into the Fort of Seringapatam. This explanation is due to the general conduet of the Native Troops under this Government, who, ha%ing circumstances of peculiar difficulty, mani fested a fidelity and attachment to the State that reflects great honour on th e i r c h ara d er. The Governor in Courcil was persuaded that it was only by deceiving the N , tve Troops that they could be misled from their duty ; and their conduct in every situation, where they had an opportunity of being made acquainted with the true situation of affairs, ju . stific3 the high opinion which he enter-, tained of their zeal and- fidelity, and entitles their to the approbation and thanks of the Govet nment. • The Governor in Council greatly ascribes the early termination of the disturbances in Mysore, to the' vigilance, energy, and talents of the a6ing President, the Hon. ARTHUR COLE, and the Com manding Officer in Mysore, Lieut.-Col. DAvis ; and , he judges. it proper again to express his high sense ' of the important services which they have teodered to the interests of their country in India.
